</span></strong></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">The <span style="color: #ff0000;">reindeer</span> have been left at <span style="color: #008000;">Bifurcated Towers</span> while Brett feeds, waters and pets them &#8211; not like that!</span><br />
</strong></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>The conductor handed <span style="color: #ff0000;">Santa</span> a <span style="color: #008000;">chocolate coin</span> and wished him a <span style="color: #ff0000;">very merry Christmas</span> (he&#8217;s trying to get on the <span style="color: #008000;">nice list</span> &#8230; so transparent)!<br />
</strong></span></p>

<h1 id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386943454905_1896"><span style="color: #000000;">Picked by</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a href="https://twitter.com/aboycalledyoung"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Andrew Young</span></a> </span><span style="color: #000000;">(going on his Canvey trip in the new year)</span></h1>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386943454905_2050">
<p id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386943454905_2049"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8220;An anti-war protest song released by seminal punk label Stiff Records probably shouldn&#8217;t work as a Christmas song, but the Bavarian brass section and and line &#8220;I wish I was at home for Christmas&#8221; means that it does. </strong></span></p>
</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386943454905_2054">
<p id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386943454905_2052"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong> The lyrics are based on a soldier, worn down by the monotony of war contemplating the world carrying on at Christmas time from the cold, desolate confines of a trench. Whilst the video is based in what looks like WWI, there isn’t an actual ‘war’ in focus, it’s the concept of soldiers wanting an end to war in general and not to be still fighting at Christmas.</strong></span></p>
</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386943454905_1903">
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong> The protagonist doesn’t sound angry, scared, demoralised, he just wants an end to war (a very noble ask at any time of year) and to be with his love, Mary Bradley who is waiting for him back at home.</strong></span></p>
<p id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386943454905_2047"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong> The utter desperation of war is not particularly Christmassy granted, but longing for or trying to get to people you can’t be with is a theme in Christmas songs from Elvis’ <em>Blue Christmas</em>, Mud’s <em>Lonely This Christmas</em> and Chris Rea’s <em>Driving Home for Christmas</em>, as well as being the basis of <em>Home Alone</em>, <em>Die Hard</em> and other classic Christmas films probably picked up elsewhere on this blog.</strong></span></p>
<p id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1386943454905_1902"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong> The concept of wanting to be with those you know and love at Christmas is the driving factor behind this theme running through Christmas films and songs, this is because the thought of being alone at Christmas is unpleasant. Add that to the horrors of war and it’s pretty bleak subject matter. Fortunately Jona Lewis added an upbeat Bavarian brass section and some dum, dum, dums and people can forget about what are two important messages and just sing along.&#8221;</strong></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8220;My favourite Christmas song would have to be <em>Stop the Cavalry</em> by Jona Lewie. In reality my favourite should be <em>Fairy Tale of New York</em> but I ruined that one November in 2007. The reason <em>Stop the Cavalry</em> took its place was 100% to do with the “dum dum dummy dum” tune throughout. Lyrically it’s quite dark, a stricken soldier pleading with Churchill to call back the troops from the war just in time for Christmas, but his pleas go unheard. As dark as the lyrics are, I genuinely don’t care for them. It’s all about the “dum dum dummy dum” to be honest. If it was a perfect world I think I’d prefer if the lyrics were about a toy that broke on Stephen’s Day (Boxing Day) or something; y’know keep the darkish theme but something that has happened to me, and us all, also.&#8221;</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8220;This is definitely the best Christmas song there is.

<div></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8220;Favourite song has to be <em>Fairytale of New York</em> by The Pogues. Many people see it as an anti-Christmas song, but I love it.

<div><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8220;I love Christmas music of all kinds &#8211; from Bing Crosby to Handel &#8211; but the song that I&#8217;m playing over and over on my iPod this season is The Pogues&#8217; <em>Fairytale of New York</em>. Maybe it&#8217;s because so many good people I know are struggling right now and it tells a very real and unsentimental story about a couple who are in a bad way, but whose dreams of a better life are battered but still intact.  And isn&#8217;t Christmas all about hope? On the 25th anniversary of the song&#8217;s release, you can read more about it <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/dec/06/fairytale-new-york-pogues-christmas-anthem "><span style="color: #000000;">here</span></a>.

Hopeful, wistful, whatever you might call it. But Christmas is about trying to be happy and wanting the same sort of happiness for people around you.&#8221;</strong></span></div>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8220;More often than not I like a song because it reminds me of a special time. December 2003, and this song was playing on the radio in the car on the way home. I&#8217;d just finished my first semester at Manchester Uni and my dad picked me up to go home for the Christmas holidays with a bin bag full of clothes and a load of hefty Biology textbooks. That was a special Christmas because, although I was having a great time, leaving home made me appreciate my family, school friends and home comforts even more. Plus my oldest brother was coming back from his year out in America and I was so excited about everyone being together. For me, the best thing about Christmas is meeting up with people I miss and just like in the lyrics, I don&#8217;t want it to end!! Although The Darkness have disappeared off the music radar, they were massive in my 1st year with <em>&#8216;I Believe in a thing called Love</em>&#8216; being played at the Bop every week. I&#8217;m not a huge fan of them in general but these two songs remind me of the most amazing, magical months at Uni that I&#8217;ll never forget. Plus the video has a singing robot in it. What&#8217;s not to love about that?&#8221;</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s an absolutely beautiful song. I really love the lead singer, Mimi, as her voice is incredibly soothing. I&#8217;m also a really big fan of the drums and how experimental they are &#8212; something I always appreciate. But I love it primarily because it skips the commercialism and has a more melancholy tone, which goes deeper and captures the spirit so well. Rather than falling into the stereotype of what Christmas is supposed to be, the song talks about Christmas as an internal feeling. It&#8217;s the way you grew up, and what feels familiar to you. Which is something that makes sense to me, being a Jewish girl who loved Christmas for how it feels during Christmas time, rather than the traditions that I never really took part in.&#8221;</strong></span></p>

Regardless of spiritual belief, &#8216;O Holy Night&#8217; is a spine tingling ode to hope and wonder.

Charlie chooses the Christmas tree that is to be used in the Christmas show, but instead of a picking a big garish, plastic tree he chooses the only natural tree available which is limp, flimsy and has bits falling off. At first the others laugh but then to make Charlie feel better they decorate the pathetic tree whilst he’s not there and when he sees it he’s delighted.</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8220;When I was about eight or nine I went to see <em>Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol</em> and it scared the bejeebers out of me (actual bejeebers left my body). It was terrifying, and shouldn’t be watched by any child, neigh any person. What should be watched however is <em>The Muppet Christmas Carol</em>. A wonderful adaptation and watched yearly, a much more important Christmas movie than <em>Home Alone</em> in my opinion. The wonderful thing about the adaptation is the casting of the Muppets. I probably would’ve done something stupid like make Kermit the narrator. But the story that Gonzo and Rizzo tell is a lot better than the one I was told when I was eight. Even if the ghost of Christmas-Past in the Muppets version does freak me out a little too.&#8221;</strong></span></p>

<div><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8220;<em>Home Alone 2</em> is my childhood favourite. Raise your hand if you wished you were him in New York when you were little?!

<div><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8220;My favourite Christmas film is probably<em> The Holiday</em>. It has a great cast and Kate Winslet helps to add a touch of British to the film. It has something for everybody, it&#8217;s a lovely story and it&#8217;s really funny too. (The kid inside me also says a special mention for <em>Home Alone 2</em> and the more recent <em>Arthur Christmas</em>, both brilliant films that although aimed at children I enjoy even as an adult!)&#8221;</strong></span></div>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8220;Not technically a Christmas film (it&#8217;s about trying to get home for Thanksgiving) but I always love watching any film with John Candy in at Christmas &#8230; or any by John Hughes for that matter (e.g. <em>Home Alone</em>)! I love <em>Elf</em> aswell but because I&#8217;m an 80s child, this has been around longer. Plus it has one of my favourite movie scenes ever (the Ray Charles Mess Around scene &#8230; and the ensuing chaos that occurs in the car after)&#8221;</strong></span></p>

<div><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>&#8220;The one essential Christmas movie in Chez Pattison is <em>Home Alone 2</em>. The brilliance of <em>Home Alone</em> but transferred to the most iconic of modern cities; what&#8217;s not to like? Sequences of timeless slapstick comedy from Pesci and Culkin are punctuated by moments of genuine heartwarming human drama. I&#8217;m unashamed to say that the reunion between mum and son in front of the Rockefeller Centre tree provokes a tear every single time. Fun but with an important message &#8211; the truest sense of Christmas.&#8221;</strong></span></div>
